Record doesn't save EXIF data

[isforinsects]

The Record activity doesn't record EXIF data identifying the XO as the creating entity, nor any exposure info etc.

This would be useful for many advanced photography applications, including stitching and stop-motion.

This would also be helpful for tagging purposes when files are uploaded to sites like flickr or gallery2.

Great idea. We so save metadata into the ogg files and need to the same for the image files.

We'll add this soon.

ExiF is very powerful on the binary level. It would allow photos taken by the XO to found online through such sites like Flickr. Mediawiki also accepts ExiF data, and it would be helpful (once we have more powerful search).

By the content library conversations around January 24 2008, Exif Really should be implemented for the Search to go forward. It would also help Social Media and Western relations.

We have working exif code for the Record activity (not committed), but we are in the midst of a long code freeze for u1.

As soon as u1 goes out, exif data in the images will be in the next release.

(As an aside, the video and audio ogg files have metadata tags embedded inside of them).
